renamed heroku app from website, now it's not found

Question

Try to update the git remote for the app:

git remote rm heroku
git remote add heroku [email protected]:yourappname.git

The Answer by James Ward is also correct, alternatively try doing this:

1). open a terminal

2). Go to your_app_directory/.git/config

3). Once you open the config file then edit as follows:

Change

url = [email protected]:old_app_name.git

to

url = [email protected]:new_app_name.git

Obviously substituting your apps old name to its new name. Hope it helps Also checkout this link renaming from cli - heroku

git remote rm heroku
heroku git:remote -a newname

From the Heroku docs...

If you rename from the website ... [your app] will need to be updated manually:

git remote rm heroku
heroku git:remote -a newname

There is another way, you can fix it by renaming the app to the original name via web.

To find out the old name use heroku command line:

> heroku rename newname

which will spit out the old name. Use the old name to rename the app via web. You can check if renaming success by running

> heroku info

Once done you can rename to the preferred name by using

> heroku rename preferredname

James Ward's solution didn't work for me. I had to enter my git url in a different format:

git remote rm heroku
git remote add heroku https://git.heroku.com/appname.git
